[The word 'debt' has her lips twisting downwards, a brief pang of discomfort shooting through her. She owes a bigger debt than can be repaid to those who had fallen at her hands. This is hardly ample recompense in the least, but if she can help keep someone else safe, perhaps she'll be able to sleep easier at night.
It's a small step at least, one in a long string of many.]
Seeing you safe will be payment enough.
[There's no debt between them for this, not really.]
[Its funny. Aren't they both just struggling to find a way to pay back their debts? Riza for those she'd killed, and Sieglinde for the weapon she'd unknowingly created.
... Funny.]
It is I asking you for aid, so I will make myself available, patients willing.
[That much is easy enough to agree to. The patients will always come first, for the both of them. She lets a few moments of silence pass as she picks out and throws away times and places.]
It'll have to be in the outskirts, closer to the forest. [No point in terrifying the locals.] Will you be able to travel that far?
[ALASTAIR.....so generous and kind. Though Riza can't help but take a momentary step back from the conversation at hand at Sieglinde's particular description.]
[Really, she would define it more clearly if she could, but it's nothing she'd familiar with- so... She moved a bit in her chair to put the creature on the screen behind her, napping on the floor.]

[Though a part of her thought Sebastian might object... So.]
And ALASTAIR has recently granted me a... Peculiar beast. I should not have trouble.

'Peculiar beast?'
no subject
... This.

That's very interesting coloring. [And composition. Just look at that skull thing??] It looks sturdy enough to carry you around though.
[Which is probably the important part here anyway.]
no subject
It is strong enough to bear my weight, yes.
[Its just... Not trained yet, really.]

How do early afternoons sound for you? Patients allowing, of course.
no subject
That will be fine with me.
no subject
Would you be amenable to starting a few days now? There are a few things I need to take care of first.
no subject
Of course- that will likewise give me time to finish dealing with the follow up care from the recent violence.
no subject
I hope everyone makes a speedy recovery. Please try not to overwork yourself.
no subject
[She always did- and she's sure Riza will in her own work as well.]
no subject
I'll see you soon then, Sieglinde.
